LOUCKS GAMES REACHES 49th year, NEEDS YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT

A few years ago, the Loucks Games inaugurated a Patrons Program to help support and continue what has grown to become one of the largest, most prestigious and -- in many beneficial ways -- unique scholastic track and field meets in the United States.

This year, without a major corporate sponsor, your financial assistance is crucial to being able to stage and maintain the Loucks Games.

Since its inception in 1968, the Loucks Games has annually drawn more than 3,000 athletes hailing from all over the East coast and several Canadian provinces. Over the years, the meet has regularly produced some of the top performances in the nation.

Costs for staging the Loucks Games each year represent an escalating proposition.

We invite you now to join many other individuals throughout the area -- people who care about our youth and wish to help support a quality athletic and community event -- in becoming a Loucks Games Patron for the 49th annual Loucks Games scheduled May 12-14, 2016.

The Loucks Games is a 501C (3) nonprofit organization. Donations are fully deductible.

Four levels of Patrons have been established:

OLYMPIC PATRON -- For an individual donation of $250 or more, Olympic Patrons will receive a Special Loucks Games Memento and a featured listing in the annual program.

GOLD PATRON -- For an individual donation of $100, Gold Patrons will receive a Special Loucks Games Memento and a featured listing in the annual program.

SILVER PATRON -- For an individual donation of $50, Silver Patrons will receive a featured listing in the annual Loucks Games program.

BRONZE PATRON -- For an individual donation of $25, Bronze Patrons will receive a featured listing in the annual Loucks Games program.
